    Hmm, I have pei tape and it's ok but bloody useless for any longish prints - with pla anyway. Plus no good unheated.

    This printbite stuff is supposed to work without heating.

    Guess it could be pei - but the pei tape i have definitely doesn't do what they claim for this.

    Ah:
    What is PrintBite

    PrintBite is a high grade FR4 class print surface m
    aterial that is also Flame Retardant.
    It is used in many industries and applications wher
    e its mechanical and electrical
    properties are of benefit. This includes PCB fabric
    ation, electrical cabinets, railways,
    mechanical components, model fabrication and much m
    ore.
    There are many grades, manufacturers and outlets of
    this material around the world.
    It is made to varying standards and degrees of qual
    ity and performance, and the
    recipe and chemical makeup varies greatly between t
    hem. During our testing and
    research a lot of the sample materials in this grou
    p classification did not work at all
    whilst others showed promise but were shown to be u
    nreliable in their adhesive
    properties during extended print times and or acros
    s a wider range of materials.
    Surface finish was also found to vary greatly with
    imperfections or uneveness. One
    particular supplier material stood out from the res
    t. This is what PrintBite is, supplied
    for the purpose of 3D Printing alone.
    PrintBite is taken from the highest quality manufac
    turer that could be found and a
    lot of work has gone into identifying not only the
    adhesive printing properties of our
    suppliers product, but also our suppliers standards
    to ensure only the highest quality
    product is supplied and passed onto the customer. W
    orking with suppliers can be
    challenging at the best of time.
    PrintBite supplied to customers will have gone thro
    ugh a specific inspection and
    selection process. The surfaces will be free of ble
    mishes and surface undulation and
    be perfectly flat. It will also be free of hairline
    marking as much as can be reasonably
    possible. Sheets with excessive marking are rejecte
    d and only the cleanest sheets are
    supplied.
    So you're probably right.
